As art critic Mary Louise Schumacher mentioned Monday, the street party outside the bar at 2599 S. Logan Ave. will have live music by Football at 1 p.m., Call Me Lightning at 2:45 and Jaill at 4:30, and mittens, hats and scarves for sale by crafters.

No doubt many will consider the beer the main event, though (and the house-made, bourbon-barrel-aged Old Fashioneds -- made with Korbel, natch). Among the kegs is a brewed-for-Burnhearts, just-for-Mitten-Fest hoppy wit beer that the bar has dubbed (Once Witten) Twice Shy.
